Hyson Green District Virtual

This virtual memorial commemorates Great War fatalities from Nottingham’s Hyson Green district, and its adjoining neighbourhoods Forest Fields and Bobbers Mill, whose names were not included on the area's three church memorials erected during the conflict’s immediate aftermath. It is being compiled from Nottingham Evening Post obituary entries, the CWGC Debt of Honour Register and other military sources, census data and Birth, Marriage and Death indexes. It is now apparent that around 320 men with Hyson Green connections were killed during World War One. David Nunn

For decades Hyson Green was Nottingham's second most popular shopping destination outside the city centre. The opening of Nottingham’s tram system in 2004 has boosted the area's profile and helped regeneration. Hyson Green is now home to a variety of cultures with a thriving local economy. It has the largest ethnic minority population in the city with many multicultural shops and supermarkets offering foods from West Africa and Southern Africa, Arabia, Eastern Europe, Iran, India, Pakistan and Russia.
